The Labour Party’s youth wing demanded Britain’s withdrawal from Nato yesterday and described President Trump as a fascist.

Young Labour, the organisation for party members aged 14 to 26, also rejected a two-state solution in Israel and Palestine and called for banks to come under public ownership.

A motion entitled “Support Corbyn and internationalism, oppose Trump and Nato” said that imperialism — “a system in its broad outline based on war, racism and exploitation” — had characterised the relationship between the west and the rest of the world since the mid-19th century.

It said that Mr Trump stood astride Nato and was regarded “variously as an authoritarian and a fascist”.
